In order to make your home look beautiful and cozy, you need to choose the right furniture for it. A shoe cabinet is not the most important piece of furniture, and they usually think about it at the last minute. Homeowners are more interested in the design of upholstered furniture or kitchen units. Even curtains and tablecloths are much more interested in than furniture for the hallway. And in vain, because the entrance hall is the first room that guests see when they come to your house.
In order to properly distribute the space in the corridor, you need real talent and good organizational skills. After all, few people have a hallway of more than a few square meters, they will be lucky if it even has a square shape. And what do you want the owners of long and narrow corridors to do? As it turned out, furniture manufacturers take into account all the possibilities, and today you can buy any furniture of a non-standard size.
Any, even the smallest hallway should be equipped with at least two pieces of furniture: a closet with a hanger for outerwear or just a hanger and a cabinet for shoes. The photo on the right shows how manufacturers combine these things: on top of the cabinet are hooks for clothes and a compartment for hats, and below is a large and roomy drawer in which to store shoes. However, the harsh truth of life suggests that one shoe box will be clearly not enough. Its capacity will satisfy only a single man who does not care about his appearance and therefore has no more than 3-4 pairs of shoes. If there is at least one woman in the house, or your family consists of more than one person, it's time to think about an additional place for storage. The shoe cabinet is narrow, but quite roomy - ideal. It can be placed next to the closet for outerwear or in the space between the wall and the front door, its dimensions make it possible to do this.
Narrow shoe cabinet: design features
Narrow cupboards for shoes, in fact, are of two types: with horizontal shelves, as in an ordinary cabinet or chest of drawers, or slim. With the first, everything is clear - outwardly such instances are similar to traditional bedside tables, only necessarily made with ventilation holes, if the furniture is made with solid doors. Slim is much more interesting - the shelves in them are inclined at 45 ° or are located vertically, so their reduced dimensions do not affect capacity at all.
In addition, the narrow cabinet for shoes can be made in closed or open type. You can argue ad infinitum which option is preferable: someone does not like the scruffy rows of variegated shoes that are open to everyone, someone, on the contrary, does not welcome too austere and office look, moreover, guests are often embarrassed to clean their shoes and boots in closed tables, rightly believing that only the owner has the right to open the doors to furniture. So this is an individual choice, however, it is worth noting that dust will always accumulate on open shelves.
And the last: there is furniture for people who really care about their things. This shoe cabinet is narrow, compact, with a built-in dryer and UV disinfecting lamps. Such furniture will ensure the safety of shoes, and will no longer be threatened by increased humidity, the appearance of a fungus or an unpleasant smell.
